tournament outside said this goes to Jack riot you mention three-one a late start time tonight I can hear the Rainbow Wahine basketball game earlier this afternoon and I'm proceeding this championship match Concordia Irvine took on New Jersey Institute of Technology and of course students you know it's that match went fine and so here we are the start time for Rainbow Warrior valuable great up there by games Rosalie hollow thump sets a tone avocado Poonam chance now for the Trojans they go outside the Wyatt and the laser beam there six five seniors in Laguna Beach kills and digs at 290 last year is not something seeing two big blocks like that all in between heels one terrific player should be all on a deal set this year if not when all Americans owe MPSF first team last year and an American honorable mention a season ago the overpass is first the Wyatts couldn't put it down where's the his back set tirado from behind the line pumped up by met Douglas Quaid chased down on the second touch there [Applause] [Music] [Applause] against us see there was an acrobatic Lee's best selling it to righto righto gets on me block hitters love their benefit to both those two Broncos or through their likely that's right zero would be better on those cases where one is better than two [Applause] Tyler Resnick 6-8 redshirt junior from Newbury Park California the Trojans to know just like the Bose both teams logging victories over NJIT and Concordia Irvine two previous night's Gassman not a serve five serving two outside set this is Ryan mess and he's able to score one for the lane of trolls six eight senior from Corona del Mar California under the co-captains these who made all MPSF glass school to high school high school American LCIF lots of credentials on a lot of these players on TLC's to see the long breath fire to the serve there by Jack Wyatt here Doulton sobering start to the season and so great percent that is his efficiency that has been off the charts he has four high percents rarely makes him Harry there's there also exists at the ball out also very efficient hitting 640 time of the year he displayed one else'll may be a battle those middles asleep see how efficient they should be in reducing the video you saw Solberg last year hitting 476 for the season he's at 692 for the first two matches here in 2019 [Applause] his shoulder and down Jenna Luca Barroso he has had success against Hawaii here in the previous matchups between these two programs the last couple of years in fact last year in this championship game he had 13 kills at 231 but he would end up winning that match by way of a sweet color as platypus [Applause] look to you like the April is bothering you I don't think so they leave the match relatively early last night after he landed on one of the opposing players to Concordia Irvine under the net put some ice on it did not play in the third set finds the floor once again Gianluca Grasso's jeans he's got volleyball all over this family that's right both parents played for the national team of Brazil he's a sister of the played brother Marco is a setter at Pacific and Ohio State won a national title in 2017 scores another for the Trojans so six serving seven here early on inside wall she plays a pretty good defense right now you can do think they want to turn things real for a street beat by this burnt Rainbow Warrior Kishore score to settle in their minds as Stein goes off the block and down but you can clearly see these new points of this match USC is a different album per team in terms of physicality and athleticism compared to what you saw the two previous night's absolutely why is it up their game his fifth ace of this young season he had four aces in the opener against NJIT the other he was turned into quite the weapon behind the service line that time cut a little too much of the table yes he gets the free USC unranked in the AVC a poll preseason pick to finish fifth in the MPSF which of course is now a 17 lead that's 26 3 and Joe Worsley such a sir there's Jeff Nygaard now in his fifth year three-time Olympian in indoor and beach volleyball [Applause] delivers smoker Surrey now he sets outside to Stein off the block could cover thereby righto where's that surveys the floor across the net and then sets up it's pretty simple but a decent rule of thumb I would say he's got two blockers up here there's more ways to work before cheat Walker's than any time of his career three kills on four swings here for van Tilburg little set goes to Palin here's a 6-8 sophomore from Rochester New York [Applause] gates Chile High School in Rochester an interesting note in New York high school volleyball on the boys side is a false sport so a little bit of a different dynamic in terms of we're treating he to some pretty good genes sister and brother both play Division one volleyball Grotto laying the smackdown different and resonated through the SSC the fans appreciate that one as affable McDonald was wrong shake before the to vision this wonderful Richard that that's right they may have registered to pin hitters on a Pune vivant Oberg each with three kills gage was Lee takes on the setting responsibilities and guess who sit again he said such rhythm last two nights in tuples I've ever seen it had it is three years here at University of Hawaii headache pills and ace but a key statistic the six gigs last night against the Eagles should leave if it's me Hawaii by five backside that's Moss was there a touch it sails on they have created some distance here in this opening frame a sticky rotation last couple of tons for USA [Applause] a senior from Amsterdam takes a little something off on that sir outside it goes to lie it off the block light off the net by Coleman righto sends one into the seats theologist mystery my hands here but he had a helicopter of a swing you gotta keep your head on a swivel when you sit behind the service line over there and I to the arena save there by the center Chris Hall where's the goes back side upon upon all and that most certainly [Applause] [Music] bigots a-15 first time out on the floor the USC welcome back let's check out tonight's Jack back bringing out the brooms the Warriors making quick work of their opponents a season ago 13 of their 19 wins on the year were in straight sets with 8 of them occurring at the Stan Sheriff Center are you making it to the Big West Conference championship match the inaugural Big West Conference Tournament lost to Long Beach State bear what you know interestingly enough did you tickets now by the way for the Big West Tournament it's gonna be here the sponsor of center this year and the dates are that is a good idea by the way the dates will be April 18th through the 20th one great volleyball tournament on Jakob Tellem which the Surrey and the u.s. Asian good transition skills there is high Reznick blasts it down some rough patches here the last few seasons he redshirted back in 2016 hasn't seen action the last two years dealing with a shoulder injury last year and so he has waited oh so patiently to finally get out there and contribute to this SC squad and here he is now as one of the starting middle that's served by why it goes around should be stated the Trojans missing one of their other returning middle Sam Lewis a 610 sophomore from Long Beach when he suffered from a collapsed along in the pause so he is not available as of now for USC that's a pretty big it out big loss feast our big blocker upfront bit harder office so sixteen serving ten good serve there by pata point off right side it's month but he gets denied get me just to that point this is an area no Charlie Wade was concerned about will Cal be a target of fruit because he's the smallest guy all by himself Jeff Nygaard and USC signaling for a timeout we'll take a break as well [Music] welcome back let's check out how it works presented by Central Pacific Bank CMAC what are we looking at let's watch Joe Murphy how he tries to fake out the SC block first time he goes through Stein bent over to the outside line and gets blocked so Joe has a chance to set the other people but no heat goes back to the outside middle block impressive does not get out there and Stein scores Jones choose it to rip peace to the same hitter rather than moving around if you know what extent he has a chance I bet he moves it around though where's the a joy to watch play that center position how did the ping-pong action as cool think Oh [Applause] so he gets you a pogo stick up there he's been school in Maui built broth out of King Kekaulike high school he's worked very hard both in the classroom and in the weight room and the ball ball time in the beach ball ball corny does it on a two serving ten that's nice [Applause] and see one time not like I'm sure the hell to use it soon if the kids not this Ronnie in the next one was like he got an eight-point over this one it was really effective oh it's a filling run here for the rainbows currently 19 serving 10 take a little something off that time the pass by Douglas Grasso got hung up we returned it to sender Jules the other guys will turn down singing season to become a really good block and those who gaze up high reaches over the net as if he's like 6 4 or 5 enough to six one that he is I mean the six one generous still with him on this be it might be for building colonies will but the boosters on these guys having the absent thanks for these at least by men's collegiate volleyball standards to media Duke players yes little set nicely done there by Tyler residence at that time by Chris Paul Paul made a great choice they're back City a one-on-one had he gone to the outside legal would be to man watch face es he's outside here whereas nuke also a water polo player in high school [Applause] and it submerged its wine here for Hawaii quilting towel were treating way back to serve rolling up the tank top sleeves mr. flash guns coming out of there that grill set nicely done Jeff the Wyatt rips it to trained with the u.s. national team last summer he was a guy who made a return to the program last year and through a two-year absence from the sport as a reserve outside hitter all the way back in 2015 somehow and pulls back over to the Hawaii side here's Stein a crack at it that one gets down Tilburg he has four kills on six swings no errors [Music] [Applause] and 6/8 on the outside music here's a tough problem for most blocks out there you try hard off the hands down passport great success story last night from juvenile specialis comes emissary who passed thereby Grasso he gets the set off my words liebe kept alive Grasso a second time [Applause] [Music] [Applause] I'm free on this one who is the first room and the second one he goes look it's even harder disappearing the outside time out USC Hawaii averaging two point four blocks per set as a team this young season you talk about sort of the expanded keys to success here tonight for Hawaii gives us see serving tough so far check blocking tough so far check I would say offense pretty good as well all hitting a mere 476 but that's a bit down from first nights 619 that's actually below their team average right now they're 514 that's right here that's right so yeah I think you can check all the boxes all right so far so good but even though we're late in the evening we got a lot of volleyball left a lot of bobble this is look good exist good SC team this it's better than how the score indicates right now off to my roofing report toots total blocks for Joel's league this season but he's known for a guy of his stature he is known to be very deft at conjuring up the solo block I mean he has had a few solo stuffs of note throughout his career he's also got a tough job he's blocking the other team's best outside hitter at least three rotations usually so it's a tough job he gets he'll get picked on a lot this year but he's up warming up to the task he's worked hard to become the better blocker in the offseason and it's obviously paying off the Charlie Wade obviously gushes about his ability part of the reason why he's entrusted this temple offense in his senior center but Charlie laments the fact that you know coming out of high school there aren't a lot of believers in Joe Worsley not that he could run a team but that he could even be part of a team as a setter at his size and obviously he has proved all of those doubters wrong throughout his career free chance here for Hawaii Worsley goes outside the Stine [Applause] Sciences I'm gonna go inside don't set me out to the pin I'm gonna come inside a little bit thousand Stein never found this foot block again lacing it offenses gonna tweak there by the rainbow aloha ball hearing set one honest Asiata springs it it'll set diving save honest Asiata s-- the gyms there on the block by pat gassmann and holy tape set one in dominating fashion to open the championship of the Hawaiian air Rainbow Warrior classic Rainbow Warrior volleyball on spectrum sports a sponsored by Bank of Hawaii and Hawaii Honda dealers welcome back to the Stan Sheriff Center Hawaii hitting 500 in set number one in signing out at 91% another dominant set performance by the Rainbow Warriors that's pretty much been the trend here so far at this young 2019 season and sign up percentage is an indication of the first ball to contact on the serve and to have it be that high and cyst extraordinary has been consistently that high for three nights in a row over 80% remembered 67 to 72 that should pretty good you'll win most batches when you're playing against good teams does that kind of percentage right now Hawaii just got it all going on all cylinders and it's two of the hitting headliners that have been the most effective Rotter pot a pune of five kills nine swings hitting 444 Stein bonds Hilbert followed him up with five kills of his own II still error-free ce mec 57 14 it was amazing about finding silver who saw that little quick 70 transition point bit he can be moved over to the right side and be just as effective River in his freshman year he played on the right side all year long ended up making Paul MPSF maybe the Donald Asian American phenomenon [Music] so he takes the first set 2512 again the late start time tonight because of all the traffic that was occurring in this arena today Rainbow Wahine basketball only this afternoon they got a big win against the defending Big West Conference regular season champs UC Davis as Potter Puna comes flying in again give him kill number six you also have the other match for this tournament between Concordia Irvine and New Jersey Institute of Technology that started at about 5:30 and wouldn't you know it it went 5 Congrats though to NJIT logging their first victory of the season 15 8 in that fifth Center but it back things up considerably as Gasman got his paws on that swing in the middle by Resnick gage Worsley sets up van Tilburg against three blockers the good up there by Douglas but the scramble playing see if Hawaii can take advantage it's gage going bright side to Otto [Applause] Douglas for estimation of dick to keep that rally alive for Scop and gage Worsley high no spin kind of ship down from bottom he faced a stable walk right there he just amber's as hard as you can pounding it off the hands just in a groove right now - serving zero as Hawaii picks up where they left off here in set two outside its Moss blocked diving save to keep it alive by Grasso right side Wyatt block that a good chunk there so where's Lee sets up gasping on the middle feet brush action misses the port wide one of the very rare instances where that connection is not on point gasping put eyes and she'll be keeping the ball in the court heaven fee for high percentage as does dogs so break [Applause] diving past there by gage Worsley Jose sets up Stein did he get a touch yes he did come on Twitter it's still error-free today then with six kills the great exhibit hall Steinbeck silver he doesn't get the perfect set you'll find some way to make the most of them got tired of high hands [Applause] they did last night I'm so paying just to six against the Eagles of Concordia Irvine mosque on hiatus Bursley that bro set to style and he has reached [Applause] it was Resnick in moss going up next on another lecture that set was worth I'd wanted I think Joe worse he had a miscommunication there Stein ran or one one route go where's he sent it to a different route so here's time the Resnick not a seraph three aces on the year coming in right side is plot a point off against a solo blocker and he just it looked like we're secret visitor outside the towel instead he backs up tirado little blocker just left their pal gear just got stuck there thinking the bottles going to Cairo good deception by John region or serving to [Applause] serve thereby Gasman but a great centering dump set there by Grosso but the block is up on Wyatt [Applause] this would be a noggin would be pointed to the forehead how come I would be saying that as far as off the mind off of my roof five serving two bats roll it's Wyatt [Applause] [Laughter] [Applause] 3.8 kills of the Year last year hit 290 is an outside hitter saw two blockers all the time 290 is a great number from outside about if we know dig by moss second touch there Douglas in a free ball coming here for Hawaii where's Lee Worsley background a Stein it's poetry that was a b-cup last 17 verses quite perfect sense that Joseph's nine about to give you another one just to make up for it and Stein takes advantage [Applause] lets out a roll stein considered now a senior 17th player in history to reach a thousand career kills interred the season with a thousand fifty nine as ronald sends it long so we will enjoy this final campaign for a guy like stein van Tilburg who by the time it's said and done will go down as one of the very best to gone to Jersey that's an ace down the line as a nasty serve keeps the scariness mark pressure there is a whole list of they're the same citizen [Applause] pretty lengthy list is the sign of enriched weather both program is Grasso goes back to back six and seven cases of the season for Grasso he's the team leader in that category and a three or here4s see to tie it up at six [Applause] these days since an explosive jump strong on its heavy topspin on here comes again took something off diving passed by gage Worsley backside tirado [Applause] again Joe Lucas last centipoise pastures off him we're almost on the back Floyd because they just gotten each twice tough search hit back light now he serves a short one the big words like just barely gets short-circuited by Rossum where's goes in Powell now seven serving six in unto the time and his service error number three for the Rainbow Warriors they had five for the entire match against Concordia Irvine last night along with three aces the first night against NJIT for ye recorded 12 faces and nine errors you'll take that ratio for sure well we're serving clinic there's pile gear with the circuit passed there by Vaughn Tilburg he'll get the set on the outside goes over the top of the block [Applause] that's kill number eight so far at least offensively for Hawaii it has been the Stine and righto show CMAC it really has been I thought I sensed that joueurs Lee's hitting those two very involved but I think down the road in the course the big perspective the whole game bigger the decoys after a while the other guys really get their training doesn't Solberg with the serve topspin serve diving pass Grosso outside it goes to Wyatt the evens things up immediately that was one of the visions those with Charlie Wade remember you brought pot a pun off into the programs time bond Tilburg was playing at the opposite position and he was thinking all right with a little bit of development here what I see down the road morado on the right Stein on the left and we're seeing that come to fruition hasten point although a great up there by Douglas Grasso off the block and down and he lets out a yell this USC competing here in the second coming alive playing well this doesn't surprise me go I watch them practice weekend he wants to play the first two days obviously much better team have been happening before set 2512 last persons at home [Music] USC coming up with an 8 and 20 campaign in 2018 they were three and nine finished sixth in the MPSF lost a BYU though in the MPSF tournament semifinal they did get to the semi rack outside its moss and one D dug a bite foul one handset to Gasman blocked Andrew Ryan Moss turning it back and it's USC back in front mouth the record we mentioned 8 and 20 and the 3 and 9 record in conference that represented the most overall losses and fewest conference wins for USC as a program since 2005 [Applause] down here to say Valley certainly unbeaten ones no by injuries as Stein did he get touch yes he did [Music] [Applause] kill for van Tilburg [Applause] however USC did record upset wins last year over UCLA they defeated Pepperdine in the NTSF quarterfinals which was a big upset one handset in the middle that's Resnick dug up sliding bump set to collar great action that time is Jo Worsley the sliding is news two bumps that Colton power or is it just so acrobatic so athletic where he goes down to his knees pops it straight up his towel a perfect set you can head the ball spinning in the right direction toward the dead these are gonna tops - this is moss dug up I gauge Worsley but right back to Moss who punches it down down still easiest attempting this ball gets over set to tap it down and catch the cable in the process not mas even a nice job of staying on Reznick sends it away I was just about to point out USC serving a little bit more effectively here in the second set that head you said that you thought you them yeah so I'm taking credit for I avoided the bay was a mental boxing [Applause] as Jakob teller six six freshmen come to avoid Norway southpaw deliberate Moss has to just slap it over bonds over setting up his buddy Potter poon all over the blocking down has been virtually unstoppable so far in this match he is the first to get to handle kills on the night this is just a repeat of last night ring whose headache kills no errors tonight same thing hit it high and hard his Americas two blockers up three blockers up this swings away and we've been so successful in this match last year against SC fought a point over 1 for 11 kills at 3:18 so he kind of like seeing the minute Roy on the other side year and despite a protest by Chris hall the setter that's a Hawaii point however Jeff Nygaard appears to be reaching for the challenge paddle and he is going to explain to Wayne Lee exactly what part of that play he wants them to review Wayne we are to Dan hironaka atop the ladder Randy Rubin all and Kevin Cheung the two line judges [Applause] [Music] that Douglas was the first one to call that the players ripped had that close to the frame and the Douglas was that Ladera who's covering his hitter he picked it down they often had the best deal better than the net can better the referee and Douglas immediately said net violation on the right so this [Applause] Jeff Nygaard played on to UCLA national title teams he knows a thing or two it was already bounces it says that Matt was already bouncing I think Douglas stopped the players for Hawaii created that bounce it was already bouncing he says you saw the net came so that is the challenge he's challenging a net violation against Hawaii that's what he wants the officials to look at and hard to tell there it would be if anything's only seal around six in that bounce you already let's go up and down and that's what SEO is claiming it up investment caused by one of Hawaii's blockers no it's already bouncing and so the call stands [Applause] [Music] some of the USC pull hairs like Gianluca grow so in disbelief and needs to pick the phone up vertically the review point to the r-1 dan hironaka Grosso is the clear captain for USC and so he is the one nominated to be able to conversate with the officials [Applause] replay didn't live in whole team serving 11 here at constant Ella best girls said it to Wyatt play back over the net let's see on the attack they go to moss and that catches the end the line no Ryan Moss get and kill number 3 [Applause] rawski mr. one step approach there not much of a run-up nice job of adjusting to that set past five on Tilburg for the Teraflex just a 15-person times a night bring slammin Hawaii to a three-point advantage [Music] let's go inside the numbers presented by Heineken the number is 59 the double figure kills for Stein van Tilburg [Applause] so the 59 the double-figure kill matches first i'm gon' tipper Kiyo gear puts that one down for us see another inside the number Hawaii hitting 471 yes see 176 here in the third [Applause] 4:13 750 here take from Grasso dodged a bullet there because Grasso last time he was back behind the service line was able to string together some consecutive points not the case this time around a lot of this came down to how each team dealt with the delayed start trade you had players that are kind of sitting around a lot of the Hawaii players went back into the open area by the locker room and the bowels of the Stan Sheriff Center and stretched out and tried to stay loose for Stein through the blocking down inside the wheeler news several Hawaii players Stein included in the locker room they set up a makeshift net with some of the chairs and then while sitting in the rolling chairs played a game of mini volleyball that's how much they were whaling to go here tonight for this championship match call with the serve rights and it's Wyatt and kill total he got now five kills down that that goes after don't worry Ben but Wyatt sipping way high and went over words me here goes into the net the service error is piling up here for us see that's seven now for them and they have come to pretty inopportune times as well [Applause] [Music] a substitution here for SC as vika slewing check seven six seven junior from Culver City California he is listed on the roster as number seven at least the original roster but wearing 21 here tonight for this match and he gets this set but it goes right by him that Gasman tried to get it down now the swing by Wyatt he can't penetrate that block [Music] very difficult ball to hit two Rockies out there waiting for Wyatt yeah I really had nowhere to go so a timeout taken by Jeff Nygaard yes what he just like they did in said one the midpoint here in this second stanza trying to create some breathing room [Music] welcome back let's check out the first wine bank top three this is NCAA aces a percent and to start this young season you see some of the ACE masters Joe Worsley Dalton Sol brig Gian Luca Grasso and yes they are all here in the building tonight to figure the Dalton subgroup one of the term that's for sure which is SC a year ago six bills five blocks and it's what he claimed the inaugural Rainbow Warrior classic in the championship win over the trove it's why it took something off there was a on the second touch tried to catch them napping nothing doing Grasso from behind the line a chance now for Hawaii back row at a cow as if you rappel down from the ceiling kids Hawaii a six-pointed baby the back row click the Bick this clean towel hitting the back row quick his transition play SC blockers up early that's a tough set to block right away to the blogger's 20 serving 14 honest osteitis trying to get a little too precise where the perhaps as he hits the pin what a bad idea I'm trying to serve so the short ball the jacket to confer the three meter on the passenger the best most effective attacker they can pass it for the three meter line not allowing him to back up quickly enough to we're gonna get a good approach fourth service error for Hawaii you know Chris Hall getting ready to send me to class this is a sophomore on T starts as a true freshman last year thankfully we saw Abby attaint from the last sequence that time he found the floor and he's been so effective that gunshot he basically is another attack record net now here playing against him you've got a horror here to these in the fairway and so the nanny goes megashark from the service line tonight as they were in previous two [Applause] setting that by the fact that they have five and a half total team Glocks and also hitting 500 for the match member to hit 340 last year number four of the country where's the back side to Stein with 11 caught a point off with 10 both in double figures [Applause] October the 6th in nation last year there's three point ninety percent it's off to a blazing start in 2019 USC goes outside the Grosso and is able to punch it through that blocking down solid crowd we got here at the Stan Sheriff Center tonight wouldn't you say 4,000 or so it looks like enthusiastic I'm still under one surprise that more people didn't live out there was the start of this man whose serve delayed for sure SC taking advantage of the overpass out of this second set by any stretch 18 serving twenty two and here's veikkaus lumen six seven junior from Culver City transferred to SC after two seasons at Santa Monica Junior College celebrated his 21st birthday on New Year's Day [Applause] Jetson Chris haul in the basket [Applause] [Music] - you see that kind of the groove covered he's almost in a zone as far as attacking is concerned this timing is good even though the Hisense low sets his timings always there ninety-three serving 18 one-hand diving passed by Douglas well the one foot Moss is able to roll it down improvisation inside us see that time it was a great play by Matt Douglas former high school American found 50 playing the German national team in 2016 quite an athlete 23 serving 19 that's an ace [Applause] Brian Moss now just two aces of the year and the previous two matches coming into tonight perhaps the most versatile player for this USC squad into the year of 38 career starts at outside hitter opposite and middle blocker he's played all of them he started at all of those positions early chases down the set it's quite a pin out from often that great up by Douglas chance here for the Trojans Grasso against three blockers is able to get it through anyway USC within to enjoy lazy to call time and really slow down the Trojans so a little fight being displayed by USC what are you seeing on that side of the net how have the men of Troy been able to stay in this second set well the first thing they've done better is they've served better you know Gianluca Orosco had that run riah two aces on Hawaii and this recent run by Moss has been solid he aced the gauge words the argument Hawaii's best passer and so it's been it's been their serving I think has been most effective and then they're attacking stay more efficient as well they're just playing better volleyball taking better shots not making as many mistakes in this Lissette they're hitting least they're heading over there he 296 per has the first step to hit 125 songs almost tripled their output as far as their Cooper series goes so we've been a little bit of everything better a 5-1 run for us see getting them within two points let's check in with Ryan Kelly sue G Ryan we're here in the Hawaii sideline the coaching staff of course talking to their players about the passing they're really trying to make sure that Hawaii gets out of this rotation advocates potentially go into a form and passing formation for USC interesting to note Jamison McKibben of the freshman out of Pune who was a backup center actually taking time during the timeout to talk to this set of Chris Hall about his set selection and really giving him feedback from what he's seen from the bench back over to you guys thanks a lot Ryan yeah Jameson McKibben 6-3 freshman out of Punahou on a pair of state titles as a high school all-american the fifth and McKibben's to play at USC from these it's a family tradition mom was his club coach Diana Clayton twice first national championship team 1979 [Applause] twenty-one serving 23 over pests Grasso couldn't get it down plate off the net by worsley joust at the net and Steinbaum silver keeps it alive Worsley outside the cowl off the fingertips of the block chasing down the set is Hall congresso return at yes he can Hawaii with the opportunity back roll the stein dug up by Douglas and slapped back over the net water rally backside Ronald [Applause] you as what he survives all Winkley one and there within one some great plan both sides pushing the Trojans picking up some fat for dick so Phenom and then a perfect block by Drossel and then boys best attacker night fell apart easily the most adversity Hawaii's faced yet this young season sole brig is blocked back where's Lee will go back side the robber over the double block played off the net by ho Brussels will get a swing out of it Stein guarding that back line where's that goes to Stein out of the back row kept alive by the Trojans Grasso winds up on coils diving save gage Rosie [Applause] [Music] mine Jack lime the coupling that bloodless digging the ball boy getting the last word without overpass that pail hammered down one a couple of rallies Hawaii in USC with the throwback working him back to some classic old-fashioned battles between these two programs it's a little ball in set to auto p9s by Douglas backside it goes to riot [Applause] the USC [Applause] the big serve their does and asked it perfectly allow Chris Holden back row quick - Wyatt Wyatt lovers as usual from the back row Isaac Carroll her coming in has played just two sets of this season a freshman from Australia but GU also of all people serves it into the NIT he takes set number two set as the Rainbow Warriors have played in this turn and yet they'll have a chance on the championship night to crack open the broom class [Music] welcome back let's take a look at the McDonald's match statistics another fat giving percentage for the Rainbow Warriors Chris really the kills all right 31 21 over SC it's almost the same number of attempts while hitting 439 Betsy a - 14 blocks white doubling up on USC digs 23:17 gage words and leading the way with eight and there you see the service aces two errors ratio about even for for both sides I agree what what release our strand lon and Ryan Sergey said about who I need to get the middles involved more right now that they're only getting about 15 percent of the sets they need to be up around I think around 25 percent of the sets if they're gonna be really effective and had this offense run like it should because right now lassies starting to touch a lot more balls on the outside and all those pin hitters I think two more sets the middle would keep those middle blockers of s a little more honest what about the fact that Hawaii got pushed in that second set that was as tight a set as they've played so far in this tournament this very young season how valuable may have that bin for the Rainbow Warriors I think it's gonna be very about valley boy you know what are they gonna do with adversity they see little adversity the first four times they played that you know British Columbia and for two matches and the first two matches of this tournament now suddenly face of adversity and they I thought they answered the call pretty well but like I told you in the very beginning this T this SC teams way better than the 25 12 score in the first set sure enough as he came back and almost won the second set so we'll see if Hawaii can keep it together here I love the way s he played defense that second set they reap dug a lot of balls and and ran their offense well John linka we're all so this is great had some great serving terms Jack Wyatt right there a beast for the backcourt so let's see if I can do the same thing if I shouldn't either will have a match or hands yet Hawaii was still able to hit 394 in that second set signing out at 70% not quite the 91% that they sported in the opening frame but still not bad at all unlike the first two nights here Hawaii was entering sets three on the first night of the second night with the sort of tweet the lineup Charlie sticking with the original starters here in this third set and Joe where's Lee starts things off with an ace [Music] all the reasons why Joe it starts in this back right position he's because he's got such a steady serve and he can bring heat as well past that time by Wyatt he'll get to set on the outside double block up but why it either - that's a good rent rotation for Hawaii they've got the largest block they can field at six eight six nine and six ten at first this is bigger block as you'll see in the country [Applause] here now deserve last Baikal is on the money Gasman in the middle on dougga by Grasso so white on the outside smothered by Stein and that's a roof [Music] eleven kills for spying runs over to the first two sets to match the output of righto pas de puno the both hit it's tied hitting 556 put off dating 450 you know if you get them outside to hit around 300 and doing well yeah those guys are up to the 400 is crazy brah so flying in from the back road so we inch along here trading blows early in set number three we're also down and she up toward that 300 mark pity 333 down and seven kills [Applause] I'm serving today serve by home Gasman try to put a little more behind that one is dug up with an edger righto against the double block goes off the block saved with the foot by Douglas and then the deep fear by moss it'll be returned [Music] [Music] reduces there how about this dig this soccer dig that's right by Matt Douglas he's one good with there I'm telling you played well all night long he study the force he's got double-digit digs he's got 10 - means at the serve middle stuff by Dalton solgryn [Applause] tellingly kiss Lewin Poland and the roof towel has come out the Akamai rift towels so break the kid we've gone to Harvard in choice boy loves his major is biology backside [Applause] handle off the palm of Jack Wyatt swim to see Wyatt taking some really high-quality cuts there in the last seven 1/2 do you think of the composition of this USC team they had ten underclassmen on their active roster their travel roster that they brought down to the islands as sole great unable to do that man over the tape [Music] [Applause] you know they've got seven guys on this trip that are bad 50 kids that there were more top 50 players in picture their senior year high school and so the talent is there they never got to Brussels today the international players lots of international experience so look at the makings of a really good team and we'll see if it comes a solution love Jack ride on the outside with my girl for school as his volleyball two-time NCAA MVP that rolls looks like to go to the NCAA Championships when he played three showing loss diving the same in the back row Kyle then blasted through the proposed [Music] [Applause] [Music] auto pilot window put in some defensive work again there Russell asking dad hironaka how is that not English handlebar contact is that sets the standard the colors will be loose six serving for monoclonal tickles the tape outside it goes to Grasso he went a few extra floors up the elevator there [Music] unleashing a little fury he is an emotional player you can just see it is expression not that of a poker face that's for sure Worsley goes outside to call off the block where's Lee saves it hears rato from a back row dunka by Wyatt brasov by the double block and down point SC we're even at six [Applause] the great spring bite growl whereas it gives him just enough wine get down there between the antenna and his hands as it goes back side urato down the linemen in at least that's the Paul some of the USC players disagree movement from Jeff Nygaard and as far as any challenge to that kill hepato Kuno another point for Hawaii people BC reprieve what this looks like [Applause] meanwhile an ace jumped out of the deck by Colton Cowell [Applause] [Music] [Applause] and Charlie Wade after the fall season game I think they put antenna like the MIP award the most improved player Rossi the high hands chased down by Colin where's that goes back side the Ronald I don't think anybody realistically thought that Joe could make that set I would agree [Applause] I'm sure the Joe is in if you'd be going to the outside from the left his cowl save you the plague kills me go straight in front of him and said it goes behind catches us flip flop - righto 67 mile an hour sold there by Cowell than the kill that's the point for a USC is Jack White delivers again his 9th kill of the evening you must see hit 364 here in set number three so forth actually bettering Hawaii's 300 percentage in the third rose by two however the u.s. see a story program to say the least you know they're celebrating their 50th year of USC volleyball on the men's side started in 1970 [Applause] [Music] [Applause] years we mentioned all the underclassmen some of the talent coming in including the volleyball mag comm National Player of the Year and Brandon browner a sixth or freshman outside we have yet to see tonight he's a future star there's no doubt about that he's got all the t's st blast from gross a great pass by Cowell and he lines up a foot down Vons hilberg 12 kills on 19 swings just one error is hitting 579 up and over we call that ott over the top so 11 serving 8 outside it's Wyatt punched up in the air by Joe where's Lee gage then set Subroto he's blocked diving saved by gage Worsley may have been an out ball but he lines up how about the effort by the words libros on that occasion gauged with the stretch fetch we've been aggressive here nobody gave him a call but phooey that was an out ball so he's gotta help [Applause] Joe goes into the net though on the in CI server mistake Joe words he can't be making this year he's got six eight six nine six Jennifer oh he's got to be the highest percentage server home on the but without those kind of big guys up front cuz they can get you a lot of points just on the block that's a good point it's a nice perk I'll gear colton collar the USC within a pair by the way looking over some notes and strategy here the Rainbow Warriors ranked fourth in the latest ABC eight who opened the season number three but they were inactive the first weeks it actually dropped down but was their highest opening ranking since 2005 first I'm going over the shoulder with the swing back row it's Grasso tried to cut the angle things up on the full light east side of the Med and it's an outfall to add a little insult to injury high jump again broad jumping all at the same time but also just did that he wound up in the Hawaii back row [Applause] past tight to the net jasmine a late reaction but it still turned up roses I asked him very late to get up but was rewarded to this boggling I think off his elbow I'm not sure the elbow room it sure gets printed for a knock of my room I guess you can be a little late to the joust party of your 610 right yeah 14 serving 10 here in set 3 mass is dug up by gage gassmann bump sets column good up there by Douglas since dig number 11 for him why it against a triple Blanc where's they goes back row to Stein heater for this B team and Hawaii gets to 15 ahead of the Trojans Vons hilberg with 14 kills Hawaii by a handful welcome back hey you h fans select your exact seat locations when purchasing individual game tickets at Hawaii athletics dot-com click on the tickets button to print your tickets and avoid the lines by going online Hawaii now hitting 375 in this third set USC has plummeted they will help near 400 just seemingly moments ago they're now at a buck 25 player itself only had four city errors when you sent past there by Wyatt goes [Music] gets the sign on the pointer for us see wait happy birthday okay yeah New Year's Day turning 21 all the possibilities [Laughter] gassmann right in front of Douglas ever seen [Music] of offense from jasmine dear this season that is clean the three for him on and attempts [Applause] sixteen seven eleven and Jakob tell me what Norway national team soon as it ends at the time [Music] of the year in the top division of the prep rinks over there in 2018 he is listed as ascetic we saw him actually taking some cracks at outside hitter the other night 27:16 service error number 11 for USC and again just as bad as that accumulation the training of many of those [Applause] the crowd and the bench clap hirato sings it across Grasso went up the ladder but he hit the pin again right around this time in both previous census where Hawaii started to gain some separation now credit the Trojans cousin said to despite getting down by about five or six they were able to fight their way back into it it made a very interesting Geoff Nygaard realizing they are on the precipice we got to give a shout-out to the Stan Sheriff Center crew led of course by the arena manager rich sheriff this is a time-lapse of what they had to go through today yeah Rainbow Wahine basketball and we should also mention they had to take off the Teraflex after the match last night to get it ready for Rainbow Wahine basketball this afternoon then reinstalled the Terra quits for the two volleyball matches lands a DAB on that end and Hawaii now of seven Rother also I thought it did a smart served after the timeout rather than going for he he's served a short warm to kick them to keep the ball play all those ports an overpass heard of Hawaii comes up eventually at report I think he'll go for here he's a little more heat on this man 19 serving 12 a little more heat but it was halted by the net in the back row lie it dug up by Stein they're gonna say that that was illegal same and it winds up a point for Hawaii [Applause] flying bump set under the net there we go outside the antenna crazy [Applause] unbelievable saved it although he was beyond the net as you mentioned shaved it outside the antenna which is the key there yeah from our angle though it looked like that was unlikely from that replay angle was a heck of a play by Joe 20 serving 12 it's a nice Corrado he's starting to make the line balls although Jeff Nygaard is going to challenge that one so hold the phone on the celebrating for at least a few moments here this is like getting another timeout coach uses their challenge thing although Jeff Nygaard has one timeout left but he chose to use it with the challenge card he could actually talk to his team right now if he wants SAP the next play but that ball looks like yeah from that angle I don't think it's really in question got some attendance figures for you here tickets issued just under 3900 through the turnstile little over thirty two hundred twenty thousand two hundred and nine to be exact biggest proud of this opening weekend we're getting out about this team well they're fun to watch the next time we'll get a chance to see them maybe the 25th alumni game I'm sure that'll be fun as well but the next really big one will be want to get stamp that I believe on February 1st the second is that's not right that is well first and third February 1st and 3rd here at the Stan Sheriff Center against nationally ranked Stanford so yeah link the amount of time for Hawaii to get back into the practice Jim we talked they remain we talked last night about how back-loaded this schedule is with the very difficult road trips they will play on the road at BYU at UC Irvine at Long Beach State maybe the three toughest places outside of the Stan Sheriff Center to play a road match how do you feel about the fact that this schedule is so sparse at least in the month of January it is a bad thing these Volvo seasons so long start practicing like September it's just a long long season Carrasco goes into the time ample rest and recovery time during general tillery's not a bad thing timeout Trojans a6 Oh run as Hawaii has opened it up again this one looking an awful lot like what transpired in set number one Hawaii took the first set 2512 credit USC they put up a dogfight in that second frame Hawaii hanging on though 25 23 and here they are now up double figures in the third we talked about the attendance tonight Rainbow Warriors led the nation in attendance last season for the second straight year it's sort of been the seesaw battle between Hawaii and BYU as far as who draws the the greatest average attendance each and every year but that's been a duel Hawaii's won in the last two years [Music] the relief boy is going to stay on top because this yours is full of excitement plus more you can have the Big West Tournament at the end of the year and that's gonna be exciting we'll talk about the word getting out for this team we had Brian McGinnis who has traditionally covered the University of Hawaii basketball from the Honolulu Star Advertiser and Hawaii world now that he's been doing a little bit of general coverage here this year including coming out to the opening weekend for this Rainbow Warrior volleyball team and he put on the warrior World blog a bit of a write up saying hey look I'm not a volleyball guy by any stretch oh if anything I'm a basketball guy let me just tell you folks you got to see this team in action and there is v-max right there he said you got to come out and watch these guys even a novice like myself is that essentially what his message was really thoroughly enjoyed the excitement of this squad and I would have to concur with that for sure we get his or his allegiance see he can come over to the other side that's right I think we get pretty much anybody don't you think what a point off with the serve right side the deep thereby loss chased down by gage lures him back set Toronto [Applause] leaving his dam tonight in the championship of the Rainbow Warrior classic 16 kills over two errors we get a heat every time on and soon subbed out jackson-vanik rain comes in Mosely hears it justifiably so from the fans moved by charlie way that did Joe is just dues in front of the fans what do you good sometimes coaches will do that right to make sure an extraordinary play player gets recognized you know we talked about assists per set numbers but I think one of the key statistics for Joe last year certainly there are nine matches where you H hits 400 or better you look at the percentages to start this weekend that's really the indicator of how effective your setter is in running the offense as new one finds the goal thanks sir bye righto but even a better pass [Applause] Goods big version of ten big room with the sir van Akron Silverado a little too far in front of the line so he - hands it over chance here for the Trojan they go quick middle set down by cloud year [Applause] [Music] to hand pass there by gage sold rigged rattled around on the USC side Grasso takes a swing was there a touch he wants it and he gets it [Music] after this match USC will head over to Lebanon Tennessee for the growth of the game challenge they'll take on Lincoln Memorial Barton and Lindenwood next week and rise here at the Stan Sheriff last chance to see Hawaii before [Music] [Applause] January 25th so suck it in the Rainbow Warriors on Aloha Bowl has served for the tournament championship fouled with Missouri one hand set back side goes to moss off the block moving into the antenna once again by that Douglas put that one right up there you can solve them the bear official he had eleven games for me that was twelve dicks engage was it yeah she did the balance it remains Aloha Bowl the necrons hike to the net set up stunning conclusion ship night [Applause] classic Hawaii takes it Hey / USC [Applause] 25:23 25:16 56 stellar performance [Music] good solid volleyball but exciting to watch they run a fast ball guys would jump out of the gym the harmful orange and rot oh I'm fine better enjoy words we use [Music] as they come job Isabelle his team is really seems like a focus for dedicated for doing something special this year [Applause] we're gonna have to wait so long to see this team in action in a regular season map we gotta wait until February I don't know if I can be that patient the way these guys have come out the game the old days the old MPF sit with protein easily you know every other weekend you get somebody to come in this a top-10 team and all of a sudden it's a grow the game thing you know there's more leagues to beat they're being formed makes for this very awkward scheduling to say the least they will have the opportunity though to work on some things they were pretty darn good darn near perfect for the most part here in this opening weekend let's send it over to Scott Rob's alright thanks a lot guys coasts are pretty flawless opening weekend though at times tonight you guys got challenged yeah I thought we took her foot off the gas a little bit and set two and gave them one and they made some nice plays and then I got a little confidence it was game on for sure but no clearly happy with a lot of performance from a lot of guys and you know she in the the byproduct a lot of hard work how would you give yourselves agree what what grade would you give your team this opening weekend Oh a solid beat you know certainly a lot of work to be done on our part a lot we could improve on I'm glad you were never my instructor you guys got a name personally all right you guys have a little time off now you don't play again at least some match that counts till February 1st against Stanford what do you do between then and now well just keep working you know keep going back in the gym it's nice to have some time to go in the gym we got a lot of good you know FilmOn stuff that we've done that we can kind of analyze ourselves and and get in the gym against a really good Stanford team in the February 1st yeah Stanford knocked off Ohio State tonight so they are playing well coach congratulations villa Ko a couple weeks thank you Aloha alrighty back over to you guys cut off got tough grader yeah professor weed Bank of Hawaii presenting the players of the match Gianluca Grasso 10 kills was the only hitter for USC in double figures and Stein bonds hilberg 15 kills 609 hitting percentage he had just one hitting error to go along with two blocks and five digs we would probably have to give an honorable mention at the very least - righto pata point of who was the player of the match last night he had 16 kills and hit 500 I mean if you are looking at those two sort of kingpin hitters being as effective as they were tonight CMAC it seems as though the possibilities are limitless that's where national championships were basically won at the pins for Hawaii stupid hitters tonight it to perform like they did for this whole weekend hitting four big numbers against two man blocks and then words II would give one man blocks once in a while with his deception but it was pretty impressive I'd say and I would have definitely given them this team a better grade like I'd give him like an a-minus at least that Hellas impressively hit 400-600 one night and 502 the next I guess the guy what I thought was a solid USC team at 456 against me against SC I'm telling you that was a impressive performance this weekend to say the least the hardware about to be handed out all tournament teams and the championship trophy and participation trophies as well that will do it for us though it's way past CMAC and my bedtime so we will bid you adieu don't forget about the Heineken postgame show though coming up those guys got to stay much later than we do thankfully from our perspective but don't forget about that for now though we bid you Aloha for CMAC Chris McLaughlin I'm Kanoa Leahey see you next time everybody take care good night from the Stan Sheriff Center [Music]
